eboard-devel

Hello,
I am sending this also here (0).
I wanted to tell you that we've started to develop eboard again (1).
We talked with Felipe + he said though he doesn't develop anymore he'll
host the version on his site :-)
Today there was the first contribution in regards to languages (2).
I am working currently also on adding some things to the "Getting started"
help file (3)
I am not sure who of you is still on board with eboard?
And if you've no time anymore, are you still using eboard?
Sincerely,
Erkan YILMAZ

I've found it. If I recall properly, it was related to the fact that on
some architecture, char are signed while it is not on others. I think
there was also something about bitshifts that didn't worked with big
endian architectures, or the fact that int can have different length on
different OS/architectures.
It was fixed with yet another hack by adding some special compiler flags
to GCC and maybe some minimal modifications to the networking code. It
then worked again on PowerPC with MacOS 10.2 and Linux.
I may also have tested it with NetBSD, but I can't remember.

Ok, I will do it.

Nice to hear. When you are at it, can you also highlight takeback
requests? Those usually get lost when playing on FICS.
Eboard is a really good chess interface, keep on the good work!
Nico
p.s.: who's regulary playing on FICS of you and which handle? ;-)
